PROMPT ACTION Oil FRANCHISE WANTED BY GOTHAM BIDDER
Campfield Threatens to withdraw Eastern Company's Water Bid the Latter Part of the Month.
(Continued from Pago One.) 1 Jiave in mind until I believe the plan is practical, then I'll bring it before council, but not before then.' It is the belief cf Councilman Thatcher that if council waits till next year that a bill will be enacted by the legislature which will allow Cities of the state to increase their bonded indebtedness over the two percent limit, or that some method will be devised by which cities may ro Into deeper debt in purchasing the plant of a public service corporation. Mayor Zimmerman also suggested that council wait until next year. He said that there were a number of ideas advanced and that hy that time somethinR feasible would' be found. Opinion of Gardner. Attorney Gardner says that it is Impossible for the city to ro beyond the two per cent indebtedness limit, as this Is Koverned by the constitution and which would have to bo amended In order to et it through legally. However, the mayor says that another city In this state "worked" around this obstacle and now owns its municipal plant. Intermingled with-the debate on the water works question was a rather lengthy discussion of the matter of granting a gas franchise. Mayor Zimmerman answered Councilman Von Teln's statement that the city should hurry in the water matter in order to take up the gats question, by saying that the council was able to handle both In good time. The mayor said that the I,. H. & 1. company was -willing to give up its franchise now if it was given another. His remark about the ability of the councilmen were highly complimentary and brought, smiles to the faces of the city fathers.

The Theaters
By means of a double antenna, the direction from which a wireless message comes may le readily determined by the receiver.
At the Murray. There's something worth seeing at the Murray this week. It is a sketch going under the alliterative title of "In Politics and Petti
coats." j While the little play is built on rathjer hackneyed lines the politician and j the villainess being more or less fatniI liar in theatrics of this character it i is built skillfully and presented effec
tively. And above all is almost entirely divested of those vaudeville accessories with which many really meritorious plays in miniature given in theaters of this class are spoiled, no matter how much the audience may cater to them. Augustus Neville is the star of the aggregation because he is the central figure about which the action revolves. One condition does not necessarily follow the other although it legitimately should. This is one of the Instances where the theatric verities are maintained. The story is of a local political boss who seeks revenge on one of his confreres whose wife the former loves and respects by putting out a certain incompetent and innocuous man as candidate for mayor, the story being in the scheme of the confrere to "thwart" the designs of the politician
through his mistress masquerading as the mayor candidate's wife. The cast of three ts adequate, William Marble, Jr., taking the role of the candidate for mayor consistently and Madame Mureal playing the part of "the woman" effectively, although with undue accentuations which are possibly a sop to her vaudeville audience. Incidentally she is the possessor of a striking physique and wears a stunning gown. Augustus Neville, however, is deserving of consideration for his genuine histrionic gifts and their deft manipulation in exploiting the character of "John Conlon," and his management of situations, the effect, of which might, easily be nullified by a play to the supposed tastes of his audience. That he did not. "play down" and that he "carried" over the footlights nonetheless goes to confirm the opinion of many frequenters of vaudeville houses that the fault is not always "out in front." The sketch itself is admirably constructed. Its perspective is perfect. Kvery line converges toward the climax. A sustained climax pointed with an epigram. The rest of the bill is more or less the usual thing, introduced by some good acrobatic stunts by the "Mead and Trow Trio." as they are down on the program. Pauline Corbett, with a charming stage presence, sings ballads sweetly enough, being preceded by Bobby Boyd and Marie Yuill who have an aggregation of activities which includes two dogs, which might be omitted without anybody noticing the difference, and some clever dancing silhouetted against a green background. The expanse of background, however, calls for more dancing. If they'd cut out the dogs and dance against the green more they would please their audience a good deal better. Bobby Boyd interpolates an amusing dance in caricature which is a sort of cross between the RusSian Imperial Ballet and Eva Tanguay. One of the stunts not down on the program, was pulled off in the rear of the auditorium by a masculine theater party of brilliant comedians and monologuists who, unaware of the several hundred other people in the house, amused themselves audibly and with every evidence of intense enjoyment over their own wit and profundity. Without knowing exactly what a "rough-neck" is it might seem these comedians belonged in that class. K. G. W.

RENO. Nev., Nov. 7. A bitter war is being waged in Reno at present between certain attorneys over the slashing of rates for services as counsel for Eastern applicants for divorce.
